Captain Sly from ENGELS II by ENGELS

CAPTAIN SLY
Verse 1:
He left the grey world far behind,
Captain Sly in endless space,
Carrying the dreams of earth,
Chasing light in dark embrace.
Dust and ice and silent moons,
Night by night and year by year,
Everywhere the empty cold,
Nothing close, no home near.

Chorus:
Captain Sly, keep flying,
Through the darkness, through the storm,
Searching for another sunrise,
For a place where we are warm.
Captain Sly, keep flying,
Don’t let the dream slip away,
Find a world where we can breathe again,
Where we can live and stay.

Verse 2:
When hope was breaking in his eyes,
Far away he saw a glow,
A world like earth, alive and green,
Life in rivers, winds that blow.
He saved the seas, the fields, the air,
Held them deep inside his mind,
Turned the ship to bring them home,
Whispered, “Soon, we will find.”

Bridge:
But time does not obey our hearts,
Flows its way across the black,
While Sly was counting distant stars,
Earth was gone, no turning back.

Chorus (Final):
Captain Sly, keep flying,
Through the ashes of our days,
The world you tried to save is gone,
Lost in silent rays.
Captain Sly, keep flying,
Carry dreams through endless night,
For the hope of finding home again,
For the dawn beyond the light.
